There is no more uncertainty.  This is how the president elect's official website clears the air:

Trade Reform

Free trade is good as long as it is fair trade.  American workers are the best in the world.  On a level playing field, we can compete, and win.  Yet, too many American jobs have been lost over the last decade because of trade deals that do not put Americans first.  Factories have closed and jobs have moved overseas because the government has imposed crushing regulations and taxes, while it negotiated trade deals that incentivized American companies to make things abroad, where environmental and labor protections are minimal and wages are low.

The Trump Administration will reverse decades of policies that have pushed jobs out of our country.  The new Administration will make it more desirable for companies to stay, create jobs here, pay taxes here, and rebuild our economy.  Our workers and the communities that support them will thrive again, as more and more companies compete to set up manufacturing in the U.S., to hire our young people and give them hope and a real shot at prosperity again.  America will become, once more, a destination for jobs, production and innovation and will once more show economic leadership in the world.

There's no talk of "withdrawing from, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)" and the dems have already taken the TPP off the table. I honestly don't see a problem here, am I missing something?

How are things over at the National Review?

Are they on their second semi tanker truck full of butthurt lotion yet?

He's already getting things done and hasn't been sworn in yet...

ObamaCare is off the table; TTP is off the table; and I bet NAFTA is going to be finished...

The Pipeline will be done, and a million other things will be going on at the same time...he builds a lot of things at the same time, so he's not going to be doing just one thing at a time...

Trump has said what he wants to do, give the man time to put a team together and get into office then criticize if it’s warranted. This just seems like an advance hit piece by the NR which may not even still be in business by the time a fair evaluation can be made.

If, as the author suggests, there is much uncertainty about Trump’s trade stances, then why is he wasting so many electrons and bandwidth writing about something about which he knows nothing?

More NeverTrump posturing and self-positioning, perhaps?

What you may be missing is NR trying to undermine Trump before he even takes office.
The NeverTrumpers will keep this up to prove themselves right, no matter how wrong they were.

National Review: I care not one speck of sawdust what they say about anything any more, AND I will no longer increment their hit count with my clicks.

It all comes down to this:

Globalization is okay, providing we’re [USA] the ones defining the globalization.

We won, we’re going to have a great president. These enemies within need to let the guy do his magic and leave him the hell alone.

Grammar alert: Expect to see the word “rhetoric” used at least a million times by the pundits of the MSM over the next four years to describe policy statements made by President Trump.

National Review now has the relvance of a magazine about yarn collecting.

The world’s greatest negotiator is now in the room- Superior pro US deals are coming.

He never said he was recreating the Smoot-Hartley tariff bill anywhere but in the hysterical minds of the NeverTrump wackos.
